Okey, I just did a touch up paint job on my hood. First, I washed a car, applied the touch up, waited til dry, put a clear cover on it. Then, used 2000 grid sand paper wet/dry to uncreased out the clear coat. Now, I put a rubbing bilobed on it. Now before buffing it, I am bit puzzled what category of pad do I use here? (Wool pad? or Sponge pad?)
Do you use a rubbing bilobed and pelage pad with a machine (or hand)?? When do I requirement to use this?
or
just use a Polisher and a sponge pad with (machine or hand)?? When do I requirement to use this choice ?

If you used spray cans wait at least 48 hours. If you sprayed it through a gun and used a urethane clearcoat, buff it within 24 hours.
Use foam pads and machine polish if you are going to use a machine. Wool pads are coarse and made for compounding not polishing. You should try using a hand polish first and see if this works. If you burn the paint with a buffer, you wll have to start over.
